Before you install the Virgo<br />
Unpacking<br />
Take care when you remove the Virgo from its packaging. Because of its machined aluminum top chassis, it is<br />
heavier than the average preamp. Have an extra person nearby to help if you need it. You may wish to use<br />
gloves to protect your fingers.<br />
Power supply setup<br />
The Virgo's separate power supply (bottom component in the picture above) must be connected to the Virgo<br />
main chassis (top component in the picture above) as shown above before you plug the unit into a wall. Make<br />
sure the power switch on the power supply is in the off (O) position.<br />
The supplied cables are spiral-wrapped, gold-plated copper designed for aerospace use, and can handle up to<br />
30 amps. Only these cables should be used between the power supply and the Virgo.<br />
Connect one of the supplied cables to the Analog power socket on the Virgo, then into the Analog power socket<br />
on the power supply as shown above. Repeat with the Control power connection.<br />
At this point you can plug the Virgo power supply into the wall socket. Leave the master power switch off until<br />
you connect your other equipment to the Virgo.<br />
DO NOT remove the power cables while the unit is powered on. If you do happen to accidently pull one of them<br />
out, DO NOT plug it back in. Turn off the power supply using the hard switch on the rear panel, unplug the unit,<br />
then replace the cable. Failure to power down the unit before replacing a power cable can result in substantial<br />
damage to your Virgo.<br />
If you will be using the <strong>Constellation</strong> <strong>Audio</strong> Centaur or Hercules amplifiers (or any other high-powered<br />
amplifier), do not plug the Virgo into the same AC socket or into any other outlet connected on that circuit.<br />
